To escape from slavery she used the Under Ground Railroad. The Under Ground Railroad was a line of houses that slaves would fallow to escape to freedom. But why didn’t the people who lived in those houses not hurt the slaves? The people did not like slavery. After Harriet was free she helped other slaves escape to freedom. She saved 70 other slaves.

10: Poseidon Was Angered It was a beautiful day on Earth, but Mt. Olympus was not so. Zeus could not hold back his anger as he screamed, “Ares, I’m sick of this,” His thunderous voice roared through out the beautiful ‘house’, “Killing the mortals, I thought you hated war. Killing will only create it, you have killed innocent men!” From his hand he launched a lightning bolt which just hit Ares, almost missing him. The next one did miss however and flew out the door, hitting the towering Poseidon. “Well, Zeus. I was here to talk but it would seem you are busy”, He took his leave with an uneasy face. “YOU! Feel lucky you keep your god-ship”, Zeus threw yet another lightning bolt that hit Ares in the spine with a crack that sent him toppling out a window and off the mountain, where he almost hit Poseidon. “

11: Angering Zeus is quite easy, and I am afraid you have, tell him I will be going down to Earth for a swim.” Poseidon said calmly stepping over Ares fallen body. He continued down to the nearest beach where the Mortals were swimming. Disguising himself as a regular man he stepped into the waters and began to swim with his sea-faring brethren. Then, as kids saw him only as a common man, they accidently splashed him, raising his anger levels until he was having trouble holding back. “I do not believe it is respectful to splash other people.” Poseidon said with the least anger he could’ve. But then the father came over looking angered also. “You do not tell my kids what to do!” he screamed as he punched at Poseidon. Poseidon immediately dropped his guise and commanded the sea to kill, and the father was gone. “Poseidon” screamed the angry voice of Poseidon’s brother, “Killing mortals. Mortality, 3 Weeks, ONE POWER! What shall it be?” “

12: “The power to command the sea-animals,” said Poseidon and shoed off Zeus, “Animals,” he shouted making the animals come around him, “Spin!” they did as told and spun rising slowly up in the air until Poseidon was ready. He looked down at the new batch and commanded, “Splash!” and yet again they followed orders until the water mixed with what is now known as a tornado combined and ran laps around Greece destroying everything. And that is how the hurricane was created. All because Zeus angered the God of Water. Eric Turner

18: TOMMY Tommy is my tiger. I found him one day when I was exploring the Amazon. He was whimpering on a pile of leaves so I took a little look at him then I got up enough courage and ran toward him, picked him up then ran as fast as I could out of the Amazon and jumped into my boat and paddled away. When I got him home he was very scared so I tried to calm him down by feeding him some strips of steak and he really liked it. The next day I was really worried that my mom would find out that I had a tiger. So I went to go get Tommy to try to find a place to hide him but I couldn’t find him so I wondered where he was and as I was walking down the hallway and I saw a glimpse of a tail so I followed it .

19: When I saw that it went into a tree I followed it into a hidden lair and saw Tommy in there and he was fighting a robot that had broken into his lair and when the fight was over Tommy came over to me and just rubbed up against my leg and started to purr. So I gave Tommy a hug and we both went back to the house and I found a hiding place for him under the house and Tommy carried on with his missions and I carried on with my trips to the Amazon and on my last mission I found a gorilla but that’s another story.
